Floating Hat Review by Dan Gavere:

Buoy Wear is water sports enthusiasts creating apparel for water sports enthusiasts. The crew there was sick of losing their hats to the water while doing what they love, kiteboarding. (I understand their pain.) So, they created a hat that always floats.I decided to test one out for a few months doing what I love, SUP. My hat is black, fits well, and looks similar to a normal trucker hat. The difference is that these hats really do seem to be specifically designed for water maniacs. It floats above the water’s surface flawlessly, repels water, and still looks new after a session. They also come in five colors.

I love how well the hat fits after a few times it breaks in and has quickly become my favorite hat to wear. I wear a hat everyday when I paddle and keeping the sun off my face is super important for my protection. The style is sweet and I love my black hat but I’m looking forward to adding some color to my sessions. In my opinion, this hat is great for anyone who loves to spend a lot of time on the water.
